(Belated) RIP: Will Westbrook of the Gerbils/ Olivia Tremor Control/ Neutral Milk

Just heard today of the death of Will from the Gerbils, of natural causes, about five weeks ago in Athens, GA. Searched but saw no mention of it here, and I'm bummed, so I started this thread though not sure how many people know or care about that music on here.

I love the Gerbils myself; I got to know most of the E6 people between '96 and '98; my ex and I stayed with them all a few times while I wrote pieces about different bands. Will was super sweet and from what I can tell super methodical about everything. And he was a really talented photographer. Dude toured with NMH and collaborated with OTC.

Here's an MP3 of the Gerbils' "Glue," which I think is from their second single and which NMH covered. http://www.opticalatlas.com/sounds/Glue.MP3

I believe this is their final show, here:
